The best thing about this book is that all the recipes are just as good with any cut of chicken. I just did the Asian barbecue marinade on five chicken breasts and grilled them outdoors. The thick sauce was excellent. Don't worry too much about the seemingly endless lists of ingredients. If you don't happen to have one or more of them, who cares? Experiment and swap using your own sense of taste. There's enough flavor in each recipe to give you tasty chicken. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure many of the recipes would be good on other types of meat.
The other books in this series are also very good. The only drawback is the idiotic shape of the book, which is impossible to use when you are up to your elbows in raw chicken and other messy sauces.

I enjoy this book as much as I enjoy wings. This a must for wingers and it amazed me how many different wings types are out in the world..... A MUST READ.

To me, Chicken Wings are one of the 4 major food groups... I've been developing recipes and cooking wings for years.

I decided to try the book because I love trying new wing recipes and it was inexpensive (total impulse purchase.) I had very low expectations because it was not by a well known chef and was a cheap book. Often the recipes in books like that are ok, but nothing special.

I have been very pleasantly surprised by this book! All the recipes I've tried have been accurate and produced great results. My favorite are the carolina wings (though not a "true" carolina barbecue sauce as I am used to it, it worked great with the wings!)

The ONLY problem I have with the recipes is that several of them have too much sugar and produce results that are too sweet. Some of the sugar will be in there to help the wings color up nicely as the sugar caramelizes, but the results are too sweet. I have gone back and adjusted some of the recipes to cut the sugar for both taste and health reasons.

If you like cooking wings and want to try a bunch of wing recipes this is a good consolidated source.

I have two or three of the books in this series. They are all fairly interesting and will certainly give some ideas. I am pretty much a purist when ot come two wings just not real hot ones. There are some taste ideas presented here that are worth trying and experimenting with.

This is a great book...I have made several of the recipes and you will not be disappointed! I have taken cooking classes from Mr. Carpenter and he is a great cook. I was excited to find this book! Enjoy.........

You don't need another book for wings OR drumsticks! A variety of tastey, spicey recipes!
